These are the x...x?rx?ll?C, the x?Ca and the x??aCi families.<br>Each of these involves more than thirty varieties. In the x...x?rx?ll?C<br>category, a consonant of the word is substituted by the consonant of the<br>variety under usage (x). Then the new word is followed by a second copy of<br>the consonant of the variety (x) , the syllable "?r" , a third copy of the<br>same consonant (x), the fragment "?ll?" and the substituted consonant (that<br>of the word), that is "C" . Thus, the final encoding strategy shows the<br>fragment: x...x?rx?ll?C. <br><br>For instance, the word "mat" (die) is encoded in one variety of the<br>x...x?rx?ll?C family as "sat s?rs?ll?m" and as "wat w?rw?ll?m" in another<br>one. In the x?Ca category, a consonant of the word is substituted by the<br>consonant of the variety under usage (x). Then the new word is followed by<br>the substituted consonant (that of the word, "C") and the vowel "a". For<br>instance, the word "ktab" (a book) is encoded in one variety of the x?Ca<br>type as "stab ka" and as "wtab ka" in another one. In the x??aCi family, a<br>consonant of the word is changed by the consonant of the variety under<br>usage (x). Then the newly created word is followed by the constant disguise<br>syllable "?a", the substituted consonant (that of the word, "C") and the<br>vowel "i". For example, the word "sarut" (a key) is secretised in one<br>variety of the x??aCi family as "warut ?asi" and as "karut ?asi" in another<br>one. The present book contains three parts, with each separately<br>investigating one family of the TSLs. This work addresses linguistic areas<br>of main concern to graduate and post-graduate students, linguists,<br>phonologists, morphologists, sociolinguists, Arabicists, and sociologists,<br>among others. <br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 14px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">--------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">End of Arabic-L: 01 Dec 2008</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
